Monster Energy Men’s Snowboard SuperPipe: FULL COMPETITION | X Games Aspen 2025

[@XGames]

Excited to share our coverage of X Games Aspen 2025. We were having some audio issues with our broadcast, but we still wanted to bring the coverage from Aspen to you guys as quickly as possible. That aside, enjoy the comp! 🚨ALSO!!! You can tune in to the livestream all weekend long at xgames.com/howtowatch 🚨

[@mich6152]

@xgames Why do you have women in sexy outfits waiting at the bottom? It comes across as outdated and objectifying. In today's world, shouldn't we be moving beyond the archaic tradition of women being showcased purely for aesthetic purposes?

[@jaspetzn11]

Might want to check your video descriptions. Looks like someone is just duplicating them from summer X?

Please ditch the Owl AI!

All Ai! It’s not a NASA mission and you need special effects.. 😌

[@chesterfarrington9853]

Announcing is not that hard. There are thousands of qualified people who love this sport and can talk passionately about it. Ditch this stupid AI it’s gross

[@HitnRunTony]

Yeah, it’s not hard to find someone, but it’s also not free. Sadly at the end of the day, that’s what these people are trying to achieve by replacing them. 😔

Yo no more drone shots and owl ai bruh we can’t outsource Craig

[@JrayNels]

The drones were flying way too close to the riders

[@robopig]

Yeah I’m not a fan of the drone shots it makes it hard to see a lot

[@lisan_al_g4ib]

They need to set up a skycam like what they use in American football, stable, not distracting, doesn't mess up the shots.

[@gdehms]

Drone shots ain’t it yo - at least not during the runs

[@D-AVG]

facts. whoever is controlling the drone sucks.

[@Weather_Nerd]

Replays only!

[@ichiganade2071]

Hirano deserved a 95+ for that last run. Dudes a machine 🤙🏽

[@jacobg130productions]

Positives: Playoff format concept, continued awesome saucing by the boarders. Negatives: Owl Ai (get an actual analyst), Playoff format spreading the comp too thin. Ideas for next year: Bring in Shaun White as an analyst to replace Owl Ai, change Playoffs from 8 into 4 to 12 into 6, allowing for more competition and more action.

[@lisan_al_g4ib]

Won't happen because the AI costs next to nothing and Shaun White would cost them a fortune.

[@TheMitchMob]

Dear X Games: The Roku streaming interface is so poor and inconvenient for those that don’t have Roku. Why aren’t the events live on KZbin like last year? That worked perfectly. Also the Owl AI is completely unnecessary as well. Sincerely, a frustrated lifelong fan of your product.

[@Weather_Nerd]

Agreed but I am just glad the full events even made it to YT at all lol

[@HitnRunTony]

Pretty sure Roku paid for the live streaming rights in the US, because it’s not on Twitch either

[@joecorystormshow]

Never would have guessed that “AI” would ruin an action sports event but here we are… I’ll tell you that for free

[@sk8muppet]

I genuinel thought it was some sort of joke for a second. My dissapointment when I realised it wasn't... crushing.

[@koebwil]

You cut from an actual run to make me listen to an AI. This sucks.

[@klement1337]

Booing someone not american is another level of stupidity...

[@Weather_Nerd]

Did they boo the Japanese? Talking about it's solely because not American so unless they did both this comment is dumb. As were the boos if that's indeed what I heard

[@guest6423]

Where have you been? Hating non-Americans is now "patriotic", and "Great Again".

[@CHRISTOPHER_LACK_CAMERA]

Please lose the owl ai nonsense and the fpv drone. The wide angle of the drone makes you lose the sense of the height these legends fly. Good job Scotty!!

[@kristiankristensen6563]

It's funny to see how the AI ranked the Japanese higher, I feel like the judges are always a bit biased towards Scotty James. Also drone cam doing the run sucks.

[@tiffanyrobinson6476]

they are every year if u look at the runs the Japanese riders are going higher in the air and putting in 2 1440s... they are bias towards james

[@kristiankristensen6563]

@ yeah last year or 2 years ago one of them got robbed so hard

[@jesusfreak3587]

UHHHH that is not how I saw it.

[@astiolo]

I think the judges are just quite harsh on the fine details. So, even though they're doing some bigger tricks, the precision from Scotty is enough to beat them. I see the same thing in other judged events where the runs I find most impressive don't win because someone else did something almost as impressive, but with much more precision.

[@butter7734]

Kept thinking my headphones were breaking but it was the vid.

[@yukon_2]

cut the owl it's soulless

[@splayee]

First of all, ditch the AI and the drone videos honestly. Secondly, while during this Aspen XGames Scotty James' first run on round 2 did deserve first place, the constant glaze and never shutting up about him does get repetitive and annoying especially when you've got runners like Hirano and Totsuka, they should get just as much appreciation! I will say the judges scored more fairly this year than the last years tho

[@knucklesmarks]

Dear Santa. This year all I want is X Games without an AI owl. ~ Love, Everyone.

And this drones ... with this noise .... i cant believe its not bothering some times if you need to fokus.. .and at first when i watched the video ...i was high and thought i would go death on one of my ears... i went cleaining it because i was in panic.... then i realize its clean and the noise comes from the video... but good contest

[@Pat.Whalen]

So Sick!! The regular camera at the bottom is way better angle than the drone follow shot on the pipe

[@s-a-n-d-o-t-e-c]

I want to see an event called SuperPipe Huckstyle or something like that where its just the tricks they do at the bottom after a wipeout or losing speed where they don't go over the top of the pipe ramp and go more downhill than off the ramp. It would be cool to see some way to have guys string together the kind of tricks done on the knucklehuck in some way, I think those are some of the most interesting ticks to watch.

[@Korean_Jesu5]

idk bout that scoring man, scotty's triple was scuffed af. ain't nobody throwing a double rodeo in the pipe

As a woman and mother who is very sporty and loves the xgames… The ladies standing at the bottom, fake smiling, are awkward and uncomfortable. Please stop making women doing this. It’s 2025. We are not here for trophies or models to take a photo with men. 😂 If we are gonna continue that, why aren’t there MEN standing at the bottom smiling for women athletes?! So degrading.

[@peterkompter2417]

yes lm always sad watching so much go bigger and bigger but coming at a loss of style and smooth and here finally the first one that came out lower but stuck landings instead of sliding, almost full grabs and smooth style got the highest points and the second best was the same just lacking a bit, go big but comps like this arent the place, bring it here once you can do it with a stuck landing, great to see

I have a great idea for owl AI. Let it judge the last 10 years contests and see what score they would have given them. The will not see the original judges score and they are not friends or bro’s with any of the contestants. I feel like there would be a huge discrepancy. By the way I’m the person who put the first handrail ever made at aspen snowmass in the 90’s. It was Snowmass pipe at the top and about 12’ flat rail we made in the snowcat barn. It went off!!!
